Former President George H.W. Bush wont be home for Christmas, remaining in the hospital because of a fever. Plans to send the 88-year-old to his Houston home for the holidays were put on hold after he developed the fever. Bush was hospitalized Nov. 23 with bronchitis. No date has been set for his discharge.
We were hoping to get him out but hes just got a few setbacks that they think theyve got a handle on, said his spokesman, Jim McGrath. Doctors express confidence that they have the situation under control and are cautiously optimistic going forward.
Bush had a lingering cough and remained in the hospital to improve his strength. Then came some low-energy days and the fever, McGrath said.
Its been one thing after another, McGrath said. Hes just had a couple of steps backward.
Bush is the nations 41st president and father of the 43rd president, George W. Bush.

This guy carried reagan and this was his crime.
I never voted for this guy and I am so happy when he was voted out of office to end 12 years of rotten GOP rule.
When the bush croaks the GOP will lose another of their kind.

(53,410 posts)I can't bring myself to feel anything empathetic for him. I believe he did a lot of evil in his life. Head of the CIA, the Carlyle Group, helping steal the 2000 elections, and things we'll hear about in 20 years from now. The entire family starting with Prescott Bush have symbolized the Shadow side of this country. The underbelly dark side.
I could not have expressed this as well, if I tried for a million years. He may be talking now, in some fevered delerium dream. Giving away the family secrets. The country secrets and the CIA secrets.
